and ye the Holy and Righteous One did deny, and desired a man--a murderer--to be granted to you,

But ye denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a man [that was] a murderer should be granted to you;

But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you,

You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.
